I go to San Diego Comic-Con for a lot of reasons and they’re pretty obvious reasons. I love science fiction and I watch too much TV (yes, they say that’s a thing). One of my favorite and longest-running franchises is Doctor Who and my first stop is always the BBC America booth. This year, like years past, I have a shopping list both for myself and for my TARDIS-loving family.
With the new Doctor regenerating into female form (finally!), my home filled with a wife and daughters is doubly excited for this year’s offerings. After all, the one constant that’s kept the show alive for so long is change. As much as we hate to see our old favorites go, we’re just as excited for what’s to come. And this year, I think that excitement has reached record levels, so line up early at the BBC America booth.
Here’s a hot-off-the-presses press release giving more details about how you’re going happily to part with your money. Don’t worry, I’ll be right there in line with you looking to buy all the Doctor Who things.
From BBC Studios:

- A new Doctor also means new costumes and Her Universe is debuting the Thirteenth Doctor’s fashionable rainbow striped top, long coat, and blue trousers, which will be available at the Her Universe booth #1321 and later in the fall at Hot Topic stores in the U.S.
Her Universe makes it easy to be the Doctor!
BBC AMERICA will host a Doctor Who panel on Thursday, July 19 at 11:45am PT in Hall H, introducing Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor. Marking a new era for the legendary Time Lord, Whittaker will be joined on the panel by two of her Doctor Who co-stars, Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill, who play Ryan and Yasmin respectively, as well as award-winning series showrunner Chris Chibnall (Broadchurch) and executive producer Matt Strevens (An Adventure In Space And Time). BBC AMERICA will also have additional exclusive Doctor Who merchandise from BBC Shop available at booth #4129.
Well, that should be enough to satisfy your Whovian cravings for now. And if it isn’t I’m sure there will be much more Doctor Who merchandise materializing in the near future.

Editor for Three If By Space. Tom first became interested in science fiction & science as a very young child thanks to his parents. His earliest memories of enjoying scifi were sitting with his dad watching first-run episodes of the original Star Trek. Although a rabid fan of nearly all forms of scripted television, some of Tom’s favorite shows are Firefly, Falling Skies, Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, the X-Files and all versions of both Star Trek and Stargate. He also has a particular love for British television and dearly hopes to one day visit the UK.
